"According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), people who experience intense, persistent gender incongruence can be given the diagnosis of "gender dysphoria." Some contend that the diagnosis inappropriately pathologizes gender noncongruence and should be eliminated. Others argue that it is essential to retain the diagnosis to ensure access to care."

so it might be, it might just be labeled that so that these people can get better access to care. lots of internet posters are 100% sure though, and they're super smart, so i'd go with the internet posters.
